The two leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday, after Cameron called Putin to update him on Britain’s military action in Syria, following last week’s House of Commons vote to extend British jet fighter’s missions against IS over the border from Iraq.

They reached consensus that their countries should work with other governments in the fight against IS, its threats, and the roadmap to bring in peace for Syria.

Regarding the crisis in Syria, Cameron made clear Britain’s continued opposition to the participation of Syria’s President, Bashar al-Assad in any postwar regime in Damascus, telling Putin the country needed “a government that all the Syrian people can support”.
